Girl’s Life

I’ve not been super great about keeping the internets abreast of this most recent of pregnancies in our household. One reason is because, well, who has time to remember all the intricacies of each exciting and foreign kick, each bout of horrible heartburn, each stolen moment in the day to quickly reflect on how much […]

Today I am happy for many reasons. After a very busy week, I am at home on a lazy Saturday with nothing planned. I’m short on words today, but since starting my 2008 Picture a Day project, what I do have is lots of photos to sum up exactly what’s making me smile today:

I love the morning light in our dining room. I love the way Sophia sits on her feet to reach her breakfast (she has insisted on sitting at the big table with us–not in her high chair–since we moved in this summer). I love her golden hair in the sun. And I love that […]

Dancing the “YOU JUST WENT POTTY!” jig down the hallway with Chris after Sophia successfully used her toddler toilet last night for the first time. Seriously. You would not believe how excited we got. I even let her have a Hello Kitty band-aid in celebration. And if you know Sophia’s love/hate relationship with […]

The silence around here can be chalked up to a lot of things, but I thought this picture summed it up nicely. I’m tired! I know we moved over a month ago, but it took a lot out of me and there are still a few unruly boxes that I continue to ignore. I’ve […]

Hey, 2 years. You’re pretty cool, you know that? You’re fun and loud and messy and full of words and sentences and paragraphs that sometimes make sense, but usually just make me laugh.

You are ornery about wearing your bib because you’re a big […]
